The annual event traces its beginnings to the first International Women's Day in 1911 . In 1978, the School District of Sonoma, California participated in Women's History Week , an event designed focused around the week of March 8 (International Women's Day). In 1981, responding to the growing popularity of the event, Congress passed a resolution making Women's History Week a national holiday. Congress legally expanded the focus to a whole month in 1987 . |
